Growth sighs…it’s a very complicated word this one, everyone
feels a buzz of pride when people compliment you on your growth, you get this
deep sense of accomplishment, and why not if a third eye can see that there is
some improvement in your life what’s not to like.
The process of growth though that’s another matter,
sometimes the process can be scary, tumultuous and difficult but the end result
is always worth it.

We haven’t worked together for
almost a decade, but Christina was my first – and best – work wife. She picked
me up when I fell backwards off the stage at the office Christmas party, and
let me crash on her sofa the following year when I lost all my possessions and
couldn’t get into my flat. We’ve travelled from Caracas to Kiev together and
still go on holiday when we can, children and partners allowing. When she got
married I was her bridesmaid. But the defining moment when I
realised she was my work wife happened eight years ago when I was made
redundant from the company we worked at together. It was my first job, and I’d
been there almost four years. I kind of knew it was time to leave, and it
wasn’t the biggest shock in the world but, still, no one really expects that
conversation on a Monday afternoon. I wouldn’t have bought all my lunches for
the week from the supermarket next door an hour earlier if I had. After being told I was probably
losing my job, I went straight to the pub …

So sorry i have not been able to update this blog for a while now , i have been extremely busy (announcement coming soon), Part of my activities have been in the exciting world of fashion.

The Economic recession that we are currently coming out of seems to have brought out the creative genius in a lot of youths, the Fashion industry is currently booming, with people patronizing made in Nigeria products almost as much as foreign attires.

I have decided to share this article featured on www.forbes.com for all my fashion enthusiasts.

Fantastic.

Nigerian entrepreneur Chekwas Okafor is the founder and CEO of ONYCHEK.com, an e-commerce platform for luxury fashion from Africa.

The creation of ONYCHEK.com was inspired by a simple, yet magnificent
idea: To showcase and promote the luxury African fashion to the rest of
the world. ONYCHEK aims to be the leading retail portal for African
fashion and is building a reputation for stocking only the best of
African couture from some of the conti…

I guess you can tell from the topic that this is about weight and the fat shamers.
Now for all you skinny girls who can eat a house and still
retain your slender figure please look away this topic is not for you, and yes
we curvy girls all hate you, but for people like me who have been struggling
with weight issues for years now I know some of you will relate in some ways to
this topic.

At work we have this interactive platform, where colleagues are encouraged to express themselves freely, well apparently one of my colleagues wanted to air something off his chest and wrote this interesting piece of Fiction, I was captivated by his write up and Dakky could not let it go, thus began this amazing heart breaking story of love, lies, heartbreaks and deception.
The story has definitely taken a life of its own and many characters might pop up as people respond, so prepare for updates on this story.
Makes for quite a good read.Synopsis:
Two friends who worked together fell in love but after a night of hot passion the lady transferred out to another office, she cut off all communication with her friend turned lover and this is the series of Letters that has emanated from that interaction.

It’s no news that 2016 was one of the worst years for the Nigerian
economy, the country reaped its reward for ignoring previous lucrative sectors
and concentrating primarily on revenue from the Oil Sector, consequently when
Oil prices plummeted the Nigerian economy followed suit. The Government scrambled around playing the blame game and rolling
out unsuccessful policies that further worsened the situation, at the peak of
the crisis prices of commodities shot up to the point that it became unbearable
to even prepare a pot of stew for a low income family. At
the end of the full year of 2016, GDP contracted by -1.51 per cent,This
Contraction reflected the impact of the difficult year for Nigeria
characterized by weaker inflation-induced consumption demand, an increase in
pipeline vandalism, significantly reduced foreign reserves and a concomitantly
weaker currency. Problems in the energy sector such as fuel shortages and lower
electricity generation compounded the situation.

It’s no secret that a new lucrative profession seems to be
emerging in the Nigerian landscape, as sad as it is “Whistle blowing “has
become the next best thing.
With the disgraceful looting of funds by our
corrupt public officials, the Ministry of Finance launched an effective whistleblowing programmeseveral months ago. The initiative
was birthed as a means of helping the nation get useful information aims by rewarding
anyone who can provide information on stolen or concealed public assets. So far
this practice seems to be yielding positive result, with millions of naira
discovered in abandoned luxury flats and graveyards the big picture of how massive
the looters seem to have robbed the nation’s purse is now clear. Now that
we are retrieving these funds the big question seems to be what will be done to
the perpetrators and how will these funds be utilized?
